RubyData is a helpful library that implements ORM that allows you to make updates to a SQLite3 database without writing one line of SQL code. Inspired by Rails ActiveRecord.

As you explore this document, you may find it helpful to reference the sample objects file lib/models.rb which is connected to a complementary database.

To load:

• Navigate to the lib directory
• Using irb or pry, type load 'models.rb'
• Query the database through commands such as Car.all Human.all Car.find(1) etc.

Things you need:

• Ruby
• SQLite3

Similar to Rails ActiveRecord, RubyData converts tables in a SQLite3 database into instances of the SQLObject class.

SQLObject is a very lightweight version of ActiveRecord::Base.

• #all
• #first
• #last
• #update(params)
• #create(params)
• #delete
• #save
• #find(id)
• #where(params)

• ::belongs_to
• ::has_many
